and here are today's top stories.
It’s been a turbulent start to the week in the world of business and finance.
German companies are still slow to digitalize — despite billions in government support waiting to be used. At the same time, the global semiconductor market is heating up. The artificial intelligence boom is driving chip prices higher, leaving manufacturers and consumers facing rising costs.
In the energy sector, utility giant EnBW is writing off 1.2 billion euros after abandoning two offshore wind projects. CEO Georg Stamatelopoulos calls it a strategic step, not a setback — a move to focus on more profitable investments.
Meanwhile, investors are growing cautious about the MSCI World ETF, and the debate over inheritance tax reform in Germany is unsettling business owners. On a brighter note, clean-tech start-up Terralayr has raised 192 million euros to reshape the battery storage market, helping utilities make better use of renewable energy.
Globally, Donald Trump’s renewed tariff threats against Europe dominate headlines as leaders gather in Davos for the World Economic Forum. The dispute over Greenland’s vast resources adds another layer of tension to transatlantic relations — reminding everyone that geopolitics and economics are now inseparable.
That wraps up today’s business headlines. Thanks for listening, and join us again for the next update.

Germany’s economy shows a faint but welcome sign of recovery. The country’s GDP is expected to grow by 0.2 percent in 2025, according to analysts at LBBW. After a tough previous year, family-owned giants like the Friedhelm Loh Group and ACO are proving how innovation and sustainability can drive long-term success.
Meanwhile, Bayer’s stock is climbing sharply thanks to strong prospects in its pharmaceutical division. The hydrogen sector is making a surprising comeback, fueled by the artificial intelligence boom. And in energy, RWE has won a major offshore wind auction, effectively doubling its capacity.
In technology, Bosch and Neura Robotics are teaming up to train humanoid robots using real production data — a step toward smarter factories. The Mannheim-based software company Osapiens has just become Germany’s first unicorn of 2026, reaching a valuation above one billion dollars.
Globally, the US import ban on DJI drones hits China’s tech sector hard, while Japan dives deep — literally — to mine rare earths from 6,000 meters below the ocean surface.
And in the crypto world, Bitcoin surges past 95,000 dollars, boosted by encouraging U.S. inflation data.
This concludes today’s business news. Thanks for being with us, and we’ll see you next time.

The financial world is once again focused on the Federal Reserve, where investigations into Chair Jerome Powell are creating turbulence. Many see this as a direct challenge to the Fed’s independence, a move that’s unsettling investors. Gold prices are climbing to new highs, while the US dollar continues to weaken, raising concerns about political interference from Donald Trump’s camp.
Meanwhile, Germany’s stock market remains resilient. A new DAX survey points to further gains, even as analysts warn of possible corrections in the US. Industrial company Deutz is seeing strong momentum, with its shares hitting their highest level since 2007, driven by demand in the defense sector.
On the global stage, China’s ultra-high-voltage networks are revolutionizing energy transport and becoming a major export success. Europe, however, risks falling behind in this crucial technology race. At the same time, the EU plans to relax tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, signaling a thaw in trade tensions.
And in Germany’s tech scene, Polarise has secured €117 million to build a data center for Deutsche Telekom, while the government is investing €805 million in an AI Gigafactory—a clear sign that artificial intelligence is now a national priority.

Germany’s stock market is gaining momentum. The DAX has climbed above the 25,000-point mark, and analysts now see potential for 27,200 points in the coming months. Meanwhile, TeamViewer’s stock soared after the software group reported stronger-than-expected preliminary earnings.

The German stock market has hit a new milestone as the Dax crossed the 25,000 mark. But behind the headlines, only a handful of stocks are truly soaring — most remain far below their record highs. At the same time, more large companies are sliding into insolvency, a worrying sign that Germany’s economic slowdown is deepening.
In the energy sector, Thyssenkrupp is gaining momentum thanks to speculation about a sale of its steel division, and analysts believe oil stocks could surprise investors this year. Meanwhile, innovations like river heat pumps are showing real promise for sustainable heating.
Markets are also looking ahead to what could become a record year for IPOs, with global names like SpaceX and several German firms ready to go public. And while the Eurozone inflation rate has eased to 2 percent, offering relief to policymakers, the automotive industry faces major challenges — VW, BMW, and Mercedes are struggling through what some call their toughest crisis since Dieselgate.

The global economy is entering 2026 with cautious confidence and growing contrasts. One debate stands out: analysts believe the world could see its first trillionaire this year, a symbol of how economic power is becoming increasingly concentrated.
In retail, competition remains fierce. Lidl has rolled back parts of its high-profile price cuts, showing how difficult it has become to defend margins in the food sector, even for large discounters.
Germany’s economic outlook stays fragile. Forecasts point to only moderate growth, while higher statutory health insurance contributions are putting additional pressure on consumers. Public spending may stabilize the economy in the short term, but it cannot replace long-overdue structural reforms.
At the same time, companies are pushing innovation. Bayer is working closely with the AI start-up Aignostics to speed up drug development, underlining how artificial intelligence is moving from hype to practical application.
Financial markets are also shifting. Large M&A deals are returning, and investors are increasingly focusing on Europe, where institutions like Bankhaus Metzler see attractive opportunities for 2026.
